[+] Tips
- Try building your search one term at a time, and be as specific as you can! Search term example: "chronic cough".
- Do not enter multiple findings such as "anemia, chronic cough, weight loss, vomiting" all at the same time.
- After selecting your term from the search results a list of possible diagnoses will be generated. If the list is too long, you will be able to narrow it down by entering additional terms.
- Do not enter values such as "heart rhythm 110" or "sodium 125", instead use "tachycardia" or "hyponatremia".

Definition

Autism; Infantile Autism; Kanner Syndrome; Autism is a lifelong, nonprogressive neurologic disorder typically appearing before the age of thirty months; It is characterized by language and communication deficits, withdrawal from social contacts and extreme reactions to changes in the immediate environment; About 75 percent of children with autism have low scores on standardized intelligence tests; The outlook for independent living may be improved with intensive training. [NORD 2005]

SNIP genomic markers have been found and there is a gene deletion of neurexin 1; the implication is loss of efficient neuron neuron connection pathophysiology; involved chromosomes are 11 and 15; More common in males 4:1 plus
